Do you know any particular > FreeBSD program which use this thing? No, or it would be fixed, I'd think -- or at least complained about. Maybe the question to be asked is "do I know of any code that is used on FreeBSD, but isn't maintained by FreeBSD, which uses this thing". The answer to that question is "Yes. Lots of code is available which is not yet internationalized, but which is 8-bit clean except for 0x00 and 0xff".
